If analysis alone cannot positively determine the transportability of the Equipment / Ground Vehicle, then a test loading may be required.

Test loadings are done when the transportability of an item is uncertain.

Test loads require a formal test report and are usually conducted as Special Airlift or Transport Missions.

The purchasing customer/Government Agency Sponsor shall be responsible for requesting a test loading as well as all costs associated when it is determined to be required.

XXII. Engineering structural analysis.

Prior to all testing, the OEM Vendor/contractor may provide dimensional and material design data on the provisions and their surrounding structure. This data will be used to perform a structural analysis of the provisions. In lieu of providing the required design information, the contractor can perform a structural analysis and provide the results of the analysis for review and concurrence.

Either the required data or the contractor's structural analysis results should be provided at least 90 days prior to scheduled provision testing. The purpose of the structural analysis is to assess the risk of testing, thereby reducing the number of failures or possibly eliminating the test in acceptable cases. This will result in lower overall acquisition costs to materiel developers.

Removal or relocation of mechanically attached (non-welded, non-riveted, etc.) components with common tools, requiring not more than 1 man-hour total to remove, relocate and tie down, and not more than 1 man-hour total to return the vehicle to its original, as opposed to reduced, configuration; shall be acceptable.

b. For Trailers, the rated capacity of the axles and suspension system shall be not less than 1.25 times the load imposed on each by the curb weight of the trailer.

c. The vehicle shall be transportable as described above without any other special provisions and without any shoring unless unavoidable without significant alteration to the vehicle.

d. The vehicle shall not be delivered to the Government in its reduced configuration.

For Rail or pull test certification contact: the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Transportation Engineering Agency (SDDCTEA) for modes of transportability.

SDDCTEA is in Newport News, VA, and can be contacted by e-mail at “dpemail@tea.army.mil” or by phone at (757) 599-1113.

Before painting, all steel shall be cleaned to remove any dirt, grease, oil, moisture, silicone, rust, sanding residue, scale, wax, or other foreign matter that may have accumulated.

b. Primer/Base:

“U.S. Navy” on the left (driver side rear) followed by the USN registration number on the right (passenger side rear).

- Font Format: Stencil.

- Size & Stroke: 3-inches high, ½ inch stroke.

- Example: U.S. NAVY 97-12345

When hydraulic decks, tailgates or other attachments may obscure the rear USN registration number, dual markings must be applied so that an identification number is visible regardless of the position of tailgate or other.

When small surfaces are unsuitable or space is limited for marking sizes shown (E.g. at rear), the OEM shall review and confirm use of a shortened military registration name (E.g. “USN”) with the U.S. Navy to suit the space to include location and placement:

- Example – USN 97-12345
